Green Mountain Coffee® was founded in 1981. Bob Stiller, a former cigarette paper entrepreneur, was vacationing at a ski resort in Waitsfield, Vermont one winter when he took a sip from the best cup of coffee he had ever tasted. This life-changing cup of coffee sparked his eventual interest in the small coffee chain that had been responsible. Stiller acquired the original café and relocated its headquarters to Waterbury, Vermont. Today, Green Mountain operates out of a 90,000 square foot roasting facility. By 1989, the company created an environmental committee to steer Green Mountain Coffee® in a more conservative direction.

One of Green Mountain’s best-known subsidiaries is a single-serve brand you know quite well. Since 2006, Keurig® has revolutionized the way we brew that first cup of the day. Green Mountain Coffee® K-Cups come in a wide variety of flavors and roast profiles. The distinct taste found in their gourmet coffee is credited to unique altitude, climate, and soil conditions. Every K-Cup® is sourced from only the top 10% of coffee beans in the world, most of which are found at altitudes near or above 4,000 feet.

Whether you prefer the brightness of a lighter coffee or favor a more full-bodied brew, every K-Cup® Green Mountain offers is roasted to perfection. By purchasing fair-trade Green Mountain Coffee® K-Cups, you are supporting strong grower associations. Your purchase helps small farmers improve their business practices, gain access to the global marketplace, and receive a higher payment for their coffee.
